KANTO-JOHTO
Notes → Criminal organization by the name of Team Rocket went to war with their government in the year of 20XX. No further major criminal organizations have appeared since then. High crime rate especially in Kanto.
HOENN
Notes → No major criminal organizations or incidents in recent decades. Relatively low crime rate, but it is steadily increasing. Reason unclear for recent uptick in crimes.
SINNOH
Notes → Swept up a criminal organization by the name of Team Galactic in the year of 20XX. Drained many resources from the Sinnoh League, but they did not suffer many casualties due to decisive action taken by Champion Cynthia.
ALOLA
Notes → Very peaceful due to the active presence of Legendaries. No major criminal organizations.

AUTHORITY → [REDACTED / SIGNATURE]
DATE → May 19th, Year 1XXX
TIME OF REPORT → 14:15
Private [REDACTED] was lost at sea one week ago during a mission that involved […]. It is assumed that he has perished given the […] […] […] and lack of contact thus far.

INCIDENT REPORT #00371
AUTHORITY → [REDACTED / SIGNATURE]
DATE → June 5th, Year 1XXX
TIME OF REPORT → 07:38
Private [REDACTED] returned to Kanto and is currently being treated by the medical officers on hand. He shows signs of malnutrition but not dehydration much to the […] […] of doctors. There is a fading puncture wound on his leg. His deceased status has been reverted in official records. When asked about the previous two weeks, the Private reported that he had been adrift at sea much like we had expected. His leg was later impaled by the spine of a particularly large Qwilfish, and he lost consciousness from the pain and poison thereafter.
Much to the displeasure of General [REDACTED], the Private could not give […] details about what happened to him after being attacked. The rest of the time before he came back to Johto was spent drifting in and out of consciousness. He claims he was brought ashore by a beautiful mermaid with blue hair, and she and some other humans healed him. That mermaid brought him all the way back to Johto.
"I heard them say Alola," he murmured over and over as the sleeping medication began to take its effects. He claims Alola is the name for the place he was brought to.
Conclusion: it is evident that Private [REDACTED] is suffering from severe hallucinations induced by his ordeal at sea. He will be given proper compensation, […], […], as well as a referral to esteemed doctors. He will be discharged from the army.

COLLECTION OF RECORDS, NO. 418
The Original One created many beings to do work in His name. Three great deities […] ruled over time, space, and […]. Groudon formed the solid land, and Kyogre shaped the ever-flowing seas. The world was now enriched, and Regigigas strode forth to do its duty as the Craftsman. It molded the earth further in the image its Creator had granted it. Entire continents were formed and shifted from the power it expelled. Only when it was satisfied did the Craftsman enter a long slumber. These continents drifted further over an enormously long passage of time.
Records indicate that the continents used to be one large landmass before they were split. The humans who lived there all spoke the same language, which is the common tongue all regions go by today. It was only after the continents were split and moved by the power of Regigigas that some regions […] diverged and adopted […] new words and writing systems that reflected their specific cultures.

NAME OF VISITOR → Arin Watanuki
POINT OF ORIGIN → Johto (Kanto-Johto)
ABILITY TYPE → Type specialization and communication
NOTES
Foreigner entered Unova's borders on […] […] taken into custody by League forces. Ability and identity were verified by psychics and Ability measuring tools.

Champion Alder and the Unova government eventually approved temporary visitation and League Circuit permits for the visitor. They expire in one year.
His Ability is similar to several others in the Unova League forces who specialize in Type communication. Visitor does not seem to pose a threat to national security, but caution is advised.
VISITATION STATUS: Approved
PLAN OF ACTION: Discreet supervision

JOINT PROPOSAL NOTES
• Kanto-Johto → Very focused on maintaining traditions at the cost of growth. Making strides towards a more progressive society. Remains to be seen if they will continue to adapt or resist change, but it is worth keeping an eye on. Unique culture. Products that Paldea and the Galovea Continent at large would be interested in importing.
• Hoenn → Relatively peaceful region. Extensive mining industry. Many unique products from the Devon Corporation which is said to rival Kanto's Silph Co. Technology could be worth looking into. Government structure similar to Indigo's. The last two Champions implemented questionable policies for their people and ruled with iron fists. Current Champion seems better.
• Sinnoh → Took care of a major criminal organization in recent years. Country has many devout — almost too devout — followers of The Original One. Some issues regarding religious fanaticism over the decades, which raises concerns about interactions with them. Government structure similar to Indigo's. Current Champion has implemented good policies for her people. Interesting technology like the Poketch.
• Potential proposal: exchange excess funding and manpower for unique products and natural resources from the Kinjoh Area. (Extend goodwill first so that they will be indebted to us later.)
• Conclusion: offer long-distance support, help a mutual friend and benefactor at the same time, and create an advantageous position for future trade agreements.
